Necropolis Tryst

by Kent Hill

Kent Hill presents a double whammy, a double feature, one part heart and one part laughs. Necropolis Tryst begins your viewing experience with a tale close to life, full of laughs, love, and tragedy. His over the top style comes back to earth in this coming of age that shows Hill is not only a mad man, cracking jokes at whirlwind speed, but he is fully human, a romantic and poet. And once you are nice and wet, dip into the genre splicing parody fest Zombie Park. A wild and bizarre ride through a kaleidoscope of movies that include Predator, Aliens, and of course, Jurassic Park. Why get one? Rejoice dear reader, in thy double feature.

[Tamara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm definitely giving NECROPOLIS TRYST 5 stars. The book was recommended to me, and upon starting it I realized it was not my genre, but an amazing recommendation for a hella awesome story by a fantastic storyteller. Kent Hill proves his versatility in this one! Even if you think this read might not be for you, it's only because you haven't started it yet. Do so! Pick up a copy. You will not be disappointed, and I guarantee you'll smile.

( Format : Audiobook )
"For me to conceal and you to ponder."
Perhaps, not being a sex obsessed teenage misfit, I missed the point of this story. It starts crudely, then adds violence, with constant sexual nuances of lust, longing and screwing suggested throughout. It is well narrated by pleasant!y voiced Mike Carnes, just as it is well written, conjuring mind pictures, a con artist game perpetrated on the reader, littered with name dropping of popular songs, films and books woven into the sentences, like The King and I ("Shall we dance?), Ground Hog Day, Green Eggs and Ham, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Clever, uncomfortable - and definitely not my thing.
